I just realized André is like the Portuguese Julia Child. Julia was an American who learned to cook French cuisine; André is a Portuguese who is learning to cook American cuisine. And the energy they bring to cooking are similar.

[@peatmoss4415]

Julia was a spy during WW2

[@judibarton8807]

Yes!

[@vidpie]

Honestly, I didn't realize Julia Child was an American. I never paid close attention. "She joined the women's cooking club Le Cercle des Gourmettes, through which she met Simone Beck, who was writing a French cookbook for Americans with her friend Louisette Bertholle. Beck proposed that Child work with them to make the book appeal to Americans. In 1951, Child, Beck, and Bertholle began to teach cooking to American women in Child's Paris kitchen, calling their informal school L'école des trois gourmandes (The School of the Three Food Lovers). For the next decade, as the Childs moved around Europe and finally to Cambridge, Massachusetts, the three researched and repeatedly tested recipes. Child translated the French into English, making the recipes detailed, interesting, and practical."

Cast iron is the original nonstick pan. It's why it's important to season it, also it keeps it from rrusting.

[@ooo_Kim_Chi_ooo]

Seasoning doesn't stop rusting it makes it non-stick. Drying is completely in the oven after cleaning it (don't use soap), reapplying oil, and then throwing it in the over for 30 minutes to dry.

[@Kauthaji]

@@ooo_Kim_Chi_ooo Seasoning includes the steps in the oven.

@@Kauthaji Was literally coming to say.... you just described seasoning it lol. Slapping oil isn't seasoning, the whole soil and bake thing is the seasoning.

Pouring your cornbread mixture into a hot greased cast iron pan before baking makes a very nice bottom crust..

[@wandapease-gi8yo]

@@ooo_Kim_Chi_ooo. My cast iron is all older than I am at 78. Some was my mother’s, some my grandmothers, and some Lodge that I bought new and seasoned myself (I know they claim it is seasoned when you buy it, but better safe my way. I do Not re-season every time. I swish it out and use hot water and a plastic scrubber to get anything off the finish and wipe it with a paper towel. Then I set it on a burner, stand there until it gets hot, take it off the heat and allow it to cool and put it away. I occasionally wipe the inside with oil or Crisco for a light new coat. Nothing so hard. It doesn’t rust and if I get to wiping it out immediately after using no sticking ever!

In America, we'd more likely call what you made "chili pie". It looks fantastic. But the advantage of making the chili and cornbread separately is you can spoon up a bowl of chili then top it off with shredded cheddar cheese, fresh diced onions and a dollop of sour cream. Then have a tall beautiful chunk of cornbread topped with delicious, melting Portuguese butter! Then break chunks of cornbread into the chili bowl and eat them together. Sooooooooooooo GOOD! Oh, and less cumin is better as it is a very powerful herb and will take over and dish it's put in.

[@gayleroberts-stewart3016]

Cumin, true, I cringed when I saw how much you put in.

[@michaelmccotter4293]

Absolutely!

[@allibrown8960]

Actually, all those spices come together to make something similar to taco seasoning. Chili powder is a specific chile, the ancho chile, that has been dried and ground into a powder. So your chile is closer to goulash from Hungary, minus the pasta. I hope someday you can find some chile powder.

You can adjust the spiciness of the chili by adjusting the amount of cayenne pepper & cumin that you use. And yes, chili is a great comfort food for cold rainy days or snowy winter days like we have been having here lately. It's a dish that is not only filling but warms you up.

[@elishevarose4544]

If it's a little spicy for your wife, have some sour cream for her to put on top to lessen the spice. If they don't sell sour cream in your area you can make it. 1/4 cup milk, 3/4 teaspoon distilled white vinegar, 1 cup heavy cream. Combine milk and vinegar and let stand 10 minutes. Pour heavy cream into a jar. Stir in milk mixture, cover the jar, and let stand at room temp for 24 hours. Chill in the refrigerator before serving.

And you did two things that stand out - the addition of the tomato paste and the comment about what you would do differently at the end - that is the sign of taking charge.

As a Texan, I can tell you that chili has no beans as the original version of chili is a Mexican dish called chile con carne. Many people started adding beans as a cheap way to extend this meal and feed more people. Here in this part of the South, this is called a "tamale pie" which is basically chili (no beans) with cornbread or well seasoned tamale masa on top LOL

[@jirtz5]

But also in the US we cook how we want and what taste good.

[@snarkylive]

Chili con carne just means chili with meat, and the red variety is usually like chili colorado, and you can have chili de dos frijoles or any combination with red or green chili sauce, it's just a meat stew. Chile is usually reserved for the country named Chile, or specifically Hatch Green/Red Chiles, because New Mexico is a bit different. Chili (Texas) is often called Texas red, and it's not a particularly hearty chili, it's just meat chunks with red sauce, and people try to make it spicy so it's more interesting. It's a Tex-mex staple, but usually latinos usually put chili colorado in burritos or tacos, with other items so there is more texture and flavor variety. Chili (American) is usually made with ground beef instead of chunks, it's often mass produced and canned or frozen, and can have beans or no beans and usually paired with cornbread or fritos. Chili (Cincinnati) has more of a greek spice flavor profile and it's often put on hotdogs or even pasta.

[@jameshollrah2025]

Exactly. It doesn't have to be in it's original form to be great 😊

[@Chuck_Huckler]

As a southerner, don't listen to a texan on chili! Just cause it's traditional don't make it good, and let me tell you, slow-cooked chili made with beans is DAMN GOOD! Definitely not just a way to extend the meal, although it does that, too! If you're gonna make slow-cooked chili with beans, i'd recommend using pintos. Pinto beans go great with cornbread even before you turn it into chili!

@@Chuck_Huckler LOL, Bless your heart you weren't born with the sense God gave a donkey 😂😂😂talking to me like that LOL. Nothing like a northern-southerner telling a TEXAN and VERY proud SOUTHERNER not to listen to a Texan about chili??? I've had Mexican food in other states that call themselves "Southern" and it is GARBAGE. Honestly, IDC what you put in your northern goulash chili but to be proper chili con carne it doesn't have beans. Now go on git off my post you're dismissed because ya lack manners and sense.

Put a layer of cheese above the chili and below the cornbread. That will take it up another level

By the way, you can add a little sour cream with it , it takes the spicyness down a little bit. I like it that way.

Way to go Andre! Looks delicious! So nice seeing you lovely Miss Sarah!

I usually sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top. Add it about half way through baking. Yum. Don't cut back on the liquid, it will make it too dry.

I had Chili this week. Texas is having very cold temperatures, so it was just perfect.

[@mirandaandrews2872]

Has it stopped snowing in Texas yet?😮

[@RedRuffinsore]

If you have access to Fritos (corn chips)...add those to your chili with some cheese and you have a Frito-Pie (sometimes called chili pie). Texas chili has no beans. Many times chili and pinto beans beans side by side on a plate.

This is some WILD timing cause I literally just finished making chili and cornbread myself

Your cooking shows are so much fun to watch! You've come such a long way. When you made your deviled eggs, you were so nervous and wondering if you were doing everything right. Now you have so much confidence. You know what to substitute when you can't find an American ingredient, and adding things you like etc. Don't be sad about missing out. You still have lots of life left to enjoy it now. And Santiago will enjoy it his whole life. Well done and keep cooking! BTW, very much enjoy your other videos also.
